WD My Book World Edition Network Hard Drive - 2TB £149.99 @ PC World

I've been looking for a NAS to back up my ever increasing photos and music and stream via my Playstations and XBox 360s and this looked like a pretty good deal for myslef as a beginner - appreciate anyones thoughts who's had experience of the WD as amazon seems to have as many 5 star as 2 start ratings

Ive got this and itsa brilliant, its quite slow to write to and copy back from as Ive got this plugged into the router so its all wireless which wont help the speeds, I have my xbox360 in the lounge which reads from the drive wireless and 2 WD network media players in 2 of the bedrooms that are wired with cat 5 to my router and it all works great,I have a netgear wgn2000 so it has 4 extra cat 5 sockets so Im thinking of purchasing another one of these myself as my 2tb drive is nearly full.Well worth buyin

It has a weak processor so transfer speeds belie the onboard Gb ethernet. Don't install WD Anywhere Access if that still ships with it or it will DRM your media and other users on your network won't be able to share them.
